Hayden Hardt-Zeman has been helping at The Mountain-Ear since he could walk. He has helped insert and label papers, and has recently taken over circulation including deliveries.

He has also written a few articles for the paper and loves to take photos for the paper. He hopes to get a nice camera someday, to foster his love of photography.

Hayden was born in Boulder and attended Eagles’ Nest Early Learning Center as an infant and toddler. He has attended Nederland schools since preschool and is a sophomore at Nederland High School. He loves learning, hanging out with his friends and playing soccer.

Over the past decade, Hayden has learned about circulation and enjoyed getting to know people at the stores that carry The Mountain- Ear. When he got his driver’s license in November, he took over some of the circulation. He is currently picking up papers in Boulder (in nice weather), and helping label and get them to the Nederland Post Office. He also completes the delivery to all of the stores in the Nederland and Gilpin area. When school is back in session, he will continue limited delivery when he is not working his other job at TEENS, Inc.
